Quote of the Day (Barbara Brown Taylor, on the Church’s ‘Bards and Poets’)

“One way or another, the church will always protect her bards and poets — those people who can say what we all know is true but who can say it so beautifully, so memorably, that we all hush to hear them.” —Barbara Brown Taylor quoted in Mark Oppenheimer, “Beliefs: Festival Draws Stars of Christian Preaching (Not as Seen on Television),” The New York Times, June 7, 2014
